THE MOC ACADEMY

Courses for the people who manage and advise self-funded health plans

The MOC Academy is Model Optimal Care’s learning platform. It hosts the Certified Professional in Model Optimal Care (CP-MOC) certification course and short courses on fiduciary oversight, pharmacy benefits, claims, pricing, care management, and AI.

You learn on one fictional employer’s plan documents, so you practice on the same kinds of files you handle at work.

CERTIFICATION

Certified Professional in Model Optimal Care (CP-MOC)

CP-MOC certifies that you can apply the Model Optimal Care method to identify and remove waste in a self-funded health plan. The course is based on the bestselling book, Model Optimal Care: End US Healthcare Waste, One Health Plan at a Time.

You finish with a professional credential you renew every two years and the CP-MOC designation.

You get a course outline, syllabus, and invoice for your HR team as one PDF, ready to download. Ask your HR or benefits team to confirm what your plan covers.
